Also for your reference the AC on your shield doesn't count towards soft cap, so don't include it when checking if you're at the soft cap for your level.

Of course it should be counted, with the caveat that shield AC may allow a player to exceed the softcap. I do not regard this as 100% certain on P1999, and indeed we as a community are not 100% certain that the softcap is set to 289 at all because the developers have never said for certain how they implemented it. Point being you want as much AC as you can realistically obtain without excessively sacrificing other stats. You'll find that reaching 289 without a shield on is a rather difficult task for lower- or mid-range hybrid tank.

Guess I could have worded is better, but my reply was to OP's comment that he was exceeding softcap for his level including his shield. So I was stating that you don't need to include shield in checking if you still have more AC to reach softcap for level.
